J F y ^ FREEDOM FROM TORTURE When I left the prison conference, which Gumas "Brothers Keeper?" discusses [February 13], the most important question in my head was, "What do we do next?" The answer found its form in a March 27 rally and march on the Statehouse. We rallied and marched to defend everybody's right to be free from torture. That right extends to all, from the poor to the rich, from the worker to the executive, and, yes, that right extends to even those behind bars. The right to be free from torture is a fundamental human right, recognized by over 170 nations worldwide, including our own.

In some of its strongest language, Article Five of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares an absolute prohibition against torture, degrading, cruel and unusual punishment anytime, anywhere. That is the rock on which we stand. Our principles are clear: (1) That any comprehensive law will allow criminal prosecution of all forms of sexual contact by correctional employees, contractors, volunteers and agents with inmates; (2) That any comprehensive law

i * ^ will cover sexual misconduct in all places of detention and correctional settings; (3) That any meaningful law will provide that claims of consent by the inmate cannot be used as a defense by custodial staff because an inmate can never truly consent when there is such a power imbalance; (4) That a strong law will set appropriate penalties to punish and deter this crime; and (5) That a fair law will not impose a false reporting provision that would have a "chilling effect" on survivors. These enumerated provisions will create a law Vermonters will see as good and just. They outline a law that serves, in the teleological sense, to eradicate torture from the Earth. — David R Dore Vermont legislative coordinator, Amnesty International USA Burlington

that panel several times while I was a Free Press reporter. Freyne is no friend of the Free Press, often critical of its news coverage, but the Free Press should put its investigative reporter onto this story to find out what happened. The larger issue here is: A power play against one reporter is a power play against all reporters. If Freyne is the victim of political pressure from one of Vermont's most powerful politicians, the public should know. To fold under political pressure just to salvage its "capital plan," VPT will, in the long run, regret its decision.

NEXT WEEK'S QUESTION

Freyne claims he was to appear on "Vermont This Week" [that] Friday, but VPT s executive producer Joe Merone called to tell Freyne he was no longer welcomed as a panelist. According to Freyne, the word for his firing came from the top -=— President and C E O John King and Station Manager Dan Harvey. If Freyne's claims are true, this amounts to nothing less than press censorship. If true, VPT s management should be ashamed that it puts its "capital plan" above the public trust. "Vermont This Week" has been one of the stations best-watched programs since the late Jack Barry began it back in the 1980s. I appeared on

panelist on that show because of pressure from House Speaker Walter Freed. Freyne has been a constant critic of the Speaker in his widely read column ever since the G O P took control of the House a couple of years ago. Freyne said he got the word that Freed ordered a "shot across the bow" of VPT — the message being "get rid of Freyne" if VPT wanted $200,000 restored to the state budget that was cut from VPT s request for $300,000 in capital funding.

Desperate Measures Jane White, 35, told police she had finally hacf enough of Jehovah's Witnesses bothering her at home every month for more than 12 years when she interrupted Sunday services at the Kingdom Hall in East Sussex, England, by banging loudly on i the church door and offering the congregation free magazines. "I've never done anything like this before," she said after spending 30 minutes on the church steps until police asked her to move along. "But I had a visit from the Jehovah's Witnesses the day before, and that was the straw which broke the camel's back." • A man went into the Banco Balsud branch in Tandil, Argentina, and asked to withdraw money from his savings account to pay for medicine. The bank refused because only small amounts may be withdrawn during Argentina's economic crisis. The man left but returned with a grenade, made several threats and finally left with his money. Bank officials called police, who arrested the man a while later. • A man called a restaurant in Edmonton, Alberta, to order an extra-large vegetarian pizza but became angry after being told delivery would take 30 minutes and got into a heated argument with a restaurant employee. Twenty minutes later, according to police, a man armed with a

ncredible

handgun walked into the restaurant looking for the employee. After finding he wasn't there, the gunman ordered a vegetarian pizza. The man and two acquaintances ate the pizza and helped themselves to some liquor and $400, while the armed man kept the gun aimed at two employees and a customer for nearly an hour. The siege ended when a delivery driver returned, fled upon seeing what was occurring and flagged down a taxi driver, who called police. Officers arrested Jahanzeb Babur, 26, of Edmonton, and two teen-agers from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Fifth-Commandment Follies Allan O'Keefe III, 45, received 90 days in prison for selling all his parents' possessions while they were out of the country on an extended business trip. The man's wife, Susan O'Keefe,

Carol O'Keefe, said that the couple returned a few months later to find they had not even a change of clothing. "We had given Allan everything growing up," she said, "and he left us with nothing."

Lest We Forget Although many people insist the death toll from the Sept. 11 collapse of the World Trade Center was between 5000 and 6000, the actual number of victims has dwindled to nearly half that. The initial estimate was 6700, then 5000, then 4500, then 4000. By early December, The New York Times reported the official figure was 3300 and still falling. As a result, the bloodiest day in U.S. history remains September 17, 1862, when at least 3650 soldiers were killed at the Battle of Sharpsburg. • The deadliest friendly-fire incident of the U.S. war in Afghanistan occurred because of a

A member of the European Central Bank warned that eating more than 400 new euro notes, worth $660, could make a person ill.

I'm O K with other denominations. It's just the 10euro." • Two days after the euro notes were put into circulation, three men in Friedersdorf, Germany, used a stolen van to pull out the window of a bank to gain access to the freshly stocked cash machine. When police arrived, they discovered the cash machine was still in place and that the thieves had driven off with another machine, which dispenses account statements.

The Names of the Game

o many celebrities, so little time! My mind is simply reeling this week from all the news that's fit to print. Never mind the intifada (which our president has called the "infitada"): N o sooner was the ink dry on my last column than black America, in the form of Denzel Washington, Halle Berry and Sidney Poitier, swept the Academy Awards. There's nothing Hollywood likes better than mooning over people it's treated badly in the past. "It actually felt as if something in society shifted," said John Cleese, formerly of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Accepting the Oscar for "career achievement" — as opposed to the one for "life achievement," which went to Robert Redford — Poitier invoked the names of Joseph

quip, "Two birds in one night!" before lapsing into what sounded like dangerously Islamic sentiments: "God is great, God is good," etc. "Oh, my God!" said Halle Berry, swiftly steering the proceedings back to the vernacular. "I'm sorry. This moment is so much bigger than me. This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Home, Diahann Carroll." It was for Oprah Winfrey, Ethel Waters and, somehow, Warren Beatty, too: "It's for every nameless, faceless woman of color who now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened." Faceless, maybe. But nameless? Not! Conspicuously un-thanked by the blubbering Ms. Berry was the evening's emcee, Whoopi Goldberg, herself an Oscar winner in 1991, albeit for a supporting

over people it's treated J badly in the past. L. Mankiewicz, Darryl F. Zanuck and other legendary figures of Hollywood's golden age, princes of celluloid who were "unafraid to have their art reflect their views, ethical and moral." It isn't true: In 1952, Zanuck was the one who urged director and screenwriter Elia Kazan to "name names" of suspected Hollywood communists before the House UnAmerican Activities Committee. But this is no time to revisit the blacklist. As Peggy Noonan put it in The Wall Street Journal, "There's no reason to be grouchy about the Oscars." "I accept this award in memory of all the AfricanAmerican actors and actresses who went before me in the - difficult years," Poitier concluded, "on whose shoulders I was privileged to stand, to see where I might go." His speech won "the longest standing ovation in Oscar history," apparently, which is something, since they hand them out like Chiclets every year. When his own turn came, Washington could only

role. So what's that, chopped liver? Ms. Goldberg is nothing if not a woman of color who's made cinema history, and when Ms. Berry finally bawled, "Thank you, Academy, for choosing me to be the vessel!" you got the feeling that all was not well at the Garden of Allah. "Whoopi made her first entrance that night by trapeze, lowered from the rafters while dressed as a shepherdess and smothered in gold lamd. This is as cute as a woman can get in Hollywood, black or white, before she winds up in limbo with Sandy Duncan. Rumors flew of a feud between Whoopi and Halle, followed by a press release from Whoopi denying it. She's "very happy for Halle." She's "OK" with Halle's "unintended snub." Backstage, somewhat more composed, Halle confessed that she had "no idea" whether a black woman winning the Oscar would help anyone at all. The one who's really in trouble in Hollywood right now is that hussy Julia Roberts, whose, um, preference

for Denzel as best actor of the year became so obvious onstage they practically had to douse her with a hose. "Some Hollywood heavyweights feel she should have kept her emotions a little more in check," says Jeannette Walls, resident gossipeuse for MSNBC. A "source" told Walls: "We all know how she feels about Denzel. But the Oscar ceremony was not the place to show it." Meanwhile, over at Morton's restaurant, site of Vanity Fairs "annual Oscar bash," not an eye remained dry. Since the death of superagent Swifty Lazar in 1993, the VF party is the place to be on Oscar night — the most exclusive invitation in town, limited to a mere 1500 people with power in the industry. "Even the stars get excited looking at the stars," Dominick Dunne explains. And Mortons "feels safe" to thighmeister and sob sister Suzanne Somers —• speaking of power. "You get to feel normal," Somers declares, "everybody is so famous!" Oprah left the party and announced that she was canceling her Book Club. "It has become harder and harder to find books on a monthly basis that I feel absolutely compelled to share," Winfrey declared last week. But wait — isn't that a new book about John F. Kennedy, Jr., I see in the corner? Yes! It's Richard Blow's American Son, currently excerpted — surprise! — in Vanity Fair and purporting to contain "revelations" about John and Carolyn's tragic final days. Blow was formerly executive editor at George — JFK Jr.'s "political" magazine, which was already going bellyup before his plane went bellydown. It seems that John and Carolyn also had "terrible fights," and that John spent the night before their fatal trip at the Stanhope Hotel. And on the subject of politics, did you know that there are currently two fictionalized T V dramas about the United States Supreme Court on network television, one about the W h i t e House and three about the CIA? True, "The X-Files" is going off the air, but Nathan Lane will be back in a new sitcom next fall playing "a gay senator" on Capitol Hill. And the winner is...? ®

Farms for Arms P

aybacks are a bitch. Just ask Senator Patrick Leahy, who appears to be taking it on the chin from the Bush administration for what it believes to be the Vermont Democrat s role in blocking and rejecting its judicial nominations. The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Leahy has become a lightning rod for the right wing, which is seeing red over his handling of the powerful committee. And now the Republican leadership is taking aim at some of Leahy's pet projects. The Bush administration recently announced it was cutting funds for the widely popular Farmers' Market Nutritional Program, sponsored and championed by Leahy since 1989. The $20-million program provides coupons to food-stamp recipients that are redeemable only for fresh produce at farmers' markets. It was designed to encourage families to seek healthier food options. Moreover, the coupons were a boon to small farmers, who acquired an eager new customer base. "There is no other program like this," said Mary Carlson of Vermont's Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), the agency that administers the farmers' market initiative in Vermont under the name of the "Farm to Family Program." "It's popular with the coupon recipients arid it puts money directly into the pockets of small farmers," she confirms. In fact, it's hard to find anything controversial in the program's mission statement. The first objective is "to provide resources to women, infants and children who are nutritionally at risk in the form of fresh, nutritious unprepared foods from farmers' markets." It also seeks to diversify the customer base at the markets, thus increasing the numbers of low-income shoppers who otherwise would not be there. Since it's impolitic to openly play the revenge card, the Bush administration is crying poverty while it slashes Leahy's program. "The program is admirable," the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Eric Bost told The New York Times. "But the issue for us and the president is that we are not able to fund everything we wanted. We care for the elderly, but we don't have the money for this." The irony is that, at the same time, Bush also has been touting his proposed $50 billion increase in military spending. For a more numerical perspective, consider that the cost of the current war in Afghanistan is about $33 million a day — $13 million more than it takes to run this essential nutrition program for one year. Or, if Bush trimmed his proposed military increase to $49.98 billion, that extra $20 million would keep the farmers' market program alive.

who've come to rely on the new customers. According to a report compiled by Carlson, more than 5000 households redeemed the farmers' market coupons last year and more than 200 Vermont growers participated. Not surprisingly, the program is most popular in Vermont's traditionally poorer regions, with Newport, Rutland and St. Johnsbury reporting the most redemptions. "The coupons represent about 20 percent of my sales on some market days," said Curt Sjolander, an organic vegetable farmer from Wheelock who sells at the St. Johnsbury and Barre farmers' markets. "And these are people who would not be buying my produce without the coupons. It's fair to say that if this program is cut, I'm going to be losing a lot of customers." IN BRIEF: Slashing the Farmers' Market Nutrition Program is just one of the many contentious aspects of the new farm bill. Another is Iowa Senator Tom Harkin's lastminute amendment that would officially change the name of irradiation to pasteurization. The nuclear and food industries have been seeking this change for years, since marketing foods as "irradiated" has been disastrous for them. Dairy states like Vermont, however, don't want pasteurization to be associated with irradiation — a technology that exposes foods to radiation equal to tens of millions of chest X-rays . . . The Northeast Kingdom town of Sheffield can't seem to get a break. Only months after learning that the controversial quarry operation was shut ting down, the town recently learned that it's being targeted for an all-terrain-vehicle racetrack. It looks like Sheffield's most notable resident — poet and

"It always seems like we're left fighting for the crumbs, even ough our job is to provide Ffood and nutritional programs^ f for the disadvantaged." - Marv Carlson,; •Office of Economic Opportunity

"It always seems like we're left fighting for the crumbs," said the OEO's Carlson, "even though our job is to provide food and nutritional programs for v the disadvantaged." Leahy isn't taking this political swipe lightly, though. As a member of the conference committee ironing out the final language in the omnibus farm bill that dictates most federal agricultural expenditures, the senator has a few tricks up his sleeve. "This is one of Leahy's favorite agriculture programs," said his staffer Elizabeth Nardi. "Our goal is to override an appropriations fight with the White House and gain permanent-funding for the program by adding language to the farm bill." While Bush's proposed cuts wouldn't take effect until next year's growing season, the prospects of losing it have upset coupon recipients and the farmers

peace-and-quiet activist Galway Kinnell — has another fight on his hands . . . It's pretty obvious what the Vermont House of Representatives thinks of alternative forms of transportation. After voting to cut all the funding for the Champlain Flyer, the state's first and only commuter train, they proceeded to axe an Agency of Natural Resources rule mandating the sale of electric cars in the state. ® Michael Colby can be reached via email at mcolby@adelphia.net.

"Dana brought his first draft to our Young Playwrights Festival last May," he explains. "Its a whimsical and theatrical piece of writing about two lonely, lost people who try to connect. Whether they do or not is less important than the attempt." Nash suggests the new work is "a little bit risky, the most unknown quantity we've tried." Nonetheless, the play managed to entice Jim Gaylord, a director who first hooked up with Vermont Stage to guide Midwives. He initially read the Yeaton adaptation on the subway. "I missed 14th Street," he says. "I suddenly found myself at the next station and realized that, if a story can pull me in like this on the written page, it's something I should do." The Midwives experience was a positive one. "There's often a myth that theater must be created under crisis, which takes an enormous amount of energy that I don't think pays off in the end," he notes. With Vermont Stage, "I'm allowed to stay in a non-crisis

frame of mind. That's not to say crisis doesn't happen, but you don't have to let it take over." Nash believes that Gaylord "is really a perfect fit for us, because my philosophy is indeed about nostress theater." Still not certain whether he would commit to The Big Random, Gaylord attended a workshop at Nash's Charlotte home last summer. "We talked it through and then Dana spent three days rewriting based on what came out of that," he says. That flexibility helped convince him to join the project. "This is definitely not a movie-of-the-week. Claire and Roland are so 'not right' together that their behavior doesn't lead us in predictable ways." Between the time the cast congregated for a late February reading at the Haskell Free Library in Derby Line, and a second session at the FlynnSpace two weeks later, "a lot of changes had happened in the story," Yeaton says. "It was open season on the play in terms of commentary. The actors seemed rather surprised at how much influence they were having. Genia sent me a six-page, single-spaced letter with suggestions."

Things are still fluid during a recent rehearsal at Trinity College. "There's a state of flux as to Roland's exact identity," is how Stephen Paul Johnson describes his perception. "Is he a mechanic? Or does he own an auto-body shop? In one interim drafts he became a roofer for a short time. Now that he's married, it makes him a different kind of a guy than before. I need to know what daydreams he has, what places he hangs out in, what kind of friends he has. Little details like that will help me understand this character." At her first audition, Genia Michaela was immediately intrigued by the handful of pages she'd been given. "I actually stole a script. I just had to find out what happened in the rest of the play," she admits. "Then I felt so bad, at the second audition I decided to slip it back when nobody was looking." This confession is remarkably Claire-like. In The Big Random, she shoplifts a Swiss Army knife, a worrisome object in the hands of a Massachusetts teen who has been incarcerated for cutting herself. The scene unfolds after the manipulative girl has hoodwinked Roland — a complete stranger claiming to be her godfather — into engineering a spontaneous getaway from the hospital. They embark on a freewheeling road trip through New Hampshire and Quebec that lands them at a Vermont shrine. "Look, I am way over my head here," Roland tells Claire in one of many lines that express his exasperation with her. "I've been using patience I don't even have." Roland's tough-love approach and Claire's escapism inform their verbal pas de deux, which has been choreographed around several motifs. One of them is cinematic. Her fantasies, spoken out loud as if only the audience can hear, are full of screenplay-worthy dialogue. In her imagination she's alternately a clever Russian spy or an heiress kidnapped by Venezuelan gangsters or a member of the French Resistance, tortured but refusing to betray her comrades. "Dana didn't want just a misunderstood teen-ager," Michaela explains. "Claire has no idea of who she is. She's in a survival mode." Gaylord agrees. "Genia has captured the essence of who I think Claire really is: The character has an incisive mind, an almost speeded-up intellect, and yet there's still this child who gets caught misbehaving. At the audition, there was something about Genia's eyes that told me she could portray a person struggling with being 15. She's also got a delicacy about her." In real life, Michaela's delicacy disguises a competitive athlete — she's an ice hockey fanatic. After playing violin until age 7 and becoming a piano prodigy at 9, the Louisiana native mastered operatic vocals while studying at a

North Carolina arts school as a 12-year-old. At 13, the honeyblonde actress found some nonsinging success on Broadway, and much less of it in Hollywood, before heading for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1994. During her second semester at the brainiac college, Michaela discovered she had an affinity for women's ice hockey despite no prior skating expertise. "I realized I wasn't going to be a scientist or engineer, so I researched a list of top schools with Division I teams," she says. "I was accepted by Yale and developed into quite a hockey player, but academically ended up in theater." After graduation in 1999, Michaela returned to New York. "It was really starting all over, but lately I've been on quite a roll," she notes. "Hallelujah!" Johnson would probably say amen to that. His character in The Big Random is driven by religious notions of salvation - another thematic element in the play. Roland is a lapsed Catholic who has a history with the kind of 12-step program that promotes a spiritual path to healing. A pilfered Gideon Bible becomes a significant prop. "His motive is to do right by somebody for once in his life," suggests Johnson, an experienced Shakespearean actor whose uppermiddle-class roots can be traced to Oklahoma City. "Roland wants to help Claire, but they both have issues regarding trust. While an undergrad, I once tried to help someone with profound psychological problems and discovered I was dealing with a paranoid schizophrenic. You just want to be a mensch. That's what God put us on Earth for." But it may have been Johnson's dark side that got him the part. "I didn't want Roland to be creepy," Gaylord says. "Initially, I didn't picture him as quite so good-looking, but he's a guy who could be a womanizer, and Claire has to not be repulsed by him. I was glad Steve conveyed an underlying sense of menace. I like his balance between mystery and revealing just enough that the tapestry is complete." For the 44-year-old Yeaton, The Big Random has been a chance to explore "my empathy and concern for young people," he says. The stage provides what he calls his "soapbox," but the playwright's perspective on adolescence comes through teaching the craft to high school students and raising children of his own — a son, who is now 20, and a daughter, 17. "I was definitely drawing on my parenting in an abstract way," Yeaton says. "Society saddles kids with contradictory, hollow messages. I think of Claire as a product of our culture, and I hope we all feel a little bit implicated by that."

t's an old American story: A few hundred people gather around a handful of charismatic leaders to participate in rites they believe will open their minds, hearts and souls to a harmonious way of life, transcending the crass values around them. If enough of their neighbors join them, they believe, the nation and perhaps the world will experience a change in consciousness resulting in peace, love and justice for all. That story has been repeated manf times in the name of political and religious movements in the U.S. But for a couple of years in the late 1960s, a different kind of movement evolved in the San Francisco neighborhood known as Haight-Ashbury. Its legacy is not an established church or secular institution, but art. Fun, rebellious, startling but accessible art that still testifies to the countercultural community's idealism. The style called simply "psychedelic" pro-

dropping "acid tests" staged by Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters. Also like most of the artwork here, the poster's visual content has little or nothing to do with the bands on the bill. Wilson didn't build his design around a photo of, say, the Blues Project's A1 Kooper or the Great Society's Grace Slick. Instead, he framed the logo of the event's promoter, called "Family Bog," in red-white-and-blue bunting. The logo is the image of a longhaired Indian in a top hat, smoking a fancy pipe. Raucous, funky, hand-drawn letters proclaim the evening's musical lineup. Under the Indian's deadpan cameo, a motto appears on a cartoonish scroll: "May the baby Jesus shut your mouth and open your mind." It is the flag of the emerging counterculture, a lighthearted but undeniably confrontational call to open arms.

Most of the psychedelic posters were less than 18-by-36 inches — much smaller than the innumerable works churned out in subsequent years to feed a faddish poster industry. Like the "Mona Lisa" or "Whistler's Mother," the Haight's modestly sized but signally ambitious images have been reproduced, imitated and parodied so often, removed from all context, that they've taken on larger-than-life dimensions in the collective memory. Just a few weeks after he created the Blues Project poster, Wilson ensured his place among the crucial five graphic artists of the hippie era with posters such as "Association, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Grassroots,

sells thin along with consumer culture and political complacency. But psychedelic art flaunted its disrespect for everything conventional in American life — business sense and sexual repression, conformity and rote patriotism. It demanded of viewers, "Which side are you on?" That question had been at the heart of beatnik culture and the folk revival. It was a question as old as Americas labor movement and as contemporary as the civil rights crusade — which, like so much else in American life, was about to be fragmented by war, assassination, riots and disillusionment. It didn't take anything so cataclysmic, however, to undo the Haight-Ashbury scene. Success was sufficient. The Hood exhibition features announcements for The Gathering of the Tribes for a Human Be-In, from January 1967. These include Griffins pow-wow-themed image of an Indian on horseback playing an electric guitar, and Mouse and Bowen's mind-bend-

Psychedelic art flaunted its disrespect for everything in American life —business sense and sexual r and rote patriotism, it demanded of viewers, " W h i c l liferated on rock music album covers and in hippie fashions, but was nowhere so ubiquitous as on posters for rock shows and similar events. The spectacular fluorescence of this graphic art is surveyed in "High Societies: Psychedelic Posters of Haight-Ashbury,"' a traveling exhibition currendy on view at the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. Organized by the San Diego Museum of Art, the 90 artworks are on loan from Paul Prince, who has been collecting psychedelic posters extensively for more than three decades. The show features works by the "big five" psychedelic artists of the period: Wes Wilson, Rick Griffin, Victor Moscoso, Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley. With these posters, the hedonistic visionaries of the Haight crafted a veritable manifesto that is articulate, attractive — and unrealistic. Consider the Wes Wilson poster identified as "Blues Project, Great Society. Lights: Tony Martin. Avalon Ballroom, April 22-23, 1966." Like almost every piece in the exhibition, it was created to advertise a "dance concert" — a psychedelic entertainment somewhat more commercially organized but directly descended from the anarchic, LSD-

ty. For hundreds of shows at the Avalon Ballroom and Bill Graham's Fillmore Auditorium, and for events such as the "Gathering of the Tribes for a Human BeIn" and the legend-making Monterey Pop Festival, psychedelic rock posters advertised group experiences in which the dancers on the floor were as important as the bands onstage or the lights and images flashing on the walls. "Interactive" to a degree that beggars the passive, double-click present, these events were intended to engender resistance to established values and acceptance of a "higher" consciousness. And certainly getting high was a part of it. As the late Jerry Garcia reminisces in a documentary called Feed Your Head, on view at the Hood, "I think everybody who ever went to an acid test came away a changed person, and loved it." The posters of the '60s attempted to communicate the uninhibited motion, 3-D kaleidoscopy and palpable volume of rock concerts through the use of wild color — especially in hot, eye-popping complementary colors — surreal incongruities of imagery and, perhaps most characteristically,

Sopwith Camel, Fillmore Auditorium, July 22-23, 1966." It features a fiery swirl of red writing on a green ground, each letter a tongue of flame. In Wilson's work as in that of his colleagues, reading became a bit of an acid test, too — that is, deciphering unique distortions and designs to receive insider information. The patience and effort required to decrypt such advertisements seems astonishing now, even quaint. The art of "High Societies" makes many such distinctions between that era and this one. Consider, for example, the glorification of marvelously real women's curvy, fleshy bodies, another enthusiasm the psychedelic artists shared with their Art Nouveau forebears. Defying the fashion industry's thennew infatuation with waif supermodels such as Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton, the oftenarresting eroticism of psychedelic posters praised the body opulent. Perhaps the hippies couldn't help but love hips. The anorexia industry won out in the end, of course. And "High Societies" reminds us that nearly all the graphic art we encounter today, whether on! rock C D covers, in art magazines or in clothes catalogs,

ing masterpiece of decorative neo-Nouveau featuring a yogi with a prominent third eye. More of a talkathon than a concert, the Be-In featured LSD pioneer Timothy Leary, poets Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti and political activist Jerry Rubin, as well as many other artists and orators. The best-attended and, by all accounts, most memorable of the era's happenings, the Be-In garnered nationwide media attention, which began to sell the story of San Francisco's come-as-you-are counterculture. Then the June 1967 Monterey Pop festival — and its documentary film — made international stars of several Bay-area bands. These included Big- Brother and the Holding Company, with its singer Janis Joplin, and The Jefferson Airplane, which had lured Grace Slick from the Great Society. During the resultant "Summer of Love," interlopers from around the world converged on Haight-Ashbury as wannabe hippies, dedicated drug abusers and titillated tourists. The invasion destroyed the psychedelic community by sheer dilution, not to mention a sudden spike in violent crime and the swift, dispiriting commercialization of a dream

Dear Mr. Couture:

introduction to Shakespeare's work for students, and an entertaining evening for adults.

Rest assured to my allegiance is not to any given tree or its state of origin, but the "Vermont Maple Syrup brand lifestyle." Early in my childhood a positive association was formed between myself and maple syrup and linked to similarly positive associations with the state of Vermont Both product and state conjure Rockwellian scenes of lazy Saturday morning breakfasts with my family decked out in flannel and terry cloth. Papa would be smoking his pipe, flipping flapjacks on an antique cast iron skillet while Mama quartered firewood in the backyard. AH while the first snows of winter blanket the hardened earth.

S B

This scene has absolutely no bearing on ray childhood, but it's a lovely fantasy nonetheless, one that's facilitated entirely by the Vermont Maple Syrup brand lifestyle. As a counterpoint, consider the folly of "Maine Maple Syrup." One could hardly pour it without fear of encroaching lobster shells. "Canada Maple Syrup," like most things consciously Canadian, smacks of the dullest nationalism imaginable. Vermont Maple Syrup is the logical and preeminent Maple syrup, whether its origins are in the Northeast Kingdom, Tashkent or west Texas. If consumerism has taught us anything, it's that brand trumps product; debates regarding origin and authenticity are superfluous and irrelevant.

Sincerely,

Kenneth H. Cleaver

ark Barlow and his family have to speak in code unless they're actually planning to take Oscar out for unbridled adventure at that very moment. "We say 'D.P.,'" explains the resident of Burlington's New North End. "If we say 'dog park,' he gets attentive and goes to the door. I'm not sure what we'll do when he figures out what 'D.P.' means." Oscar, an Old English Sheep Dog, is among an untold nufhber of local canines thrilled about the area's first and, for now, only offi-

cial ofF-leash paradise for pooches. Their owners seem equally pleased, though less likely to engage in tail wagging. "When we turn onto Starr Farm Road, he jumps into the front seat of the car," Barlow says of the trip that provides his pet with five half-hour outdoor sessions a week. On a brisk April afternoon, 2-year-old Oscar romps with at least a dozen other animals of all sizes, ages, breeds and temperaments â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Churchill the Great Dane, Lamont the Basset Hound, Ryeleigh the Wiemaraner and Sage the Siberian Husky, to name a few.

Apart from the occasional brief confrontation, these creatures appear to be delirious with joy. It is a rare taste of Fido freedom in the otherwise penned-in, tied-up world of good dogs that need to run like the wind. After several years of debate, in mid-December the city fenced in a two-acre grassy field just west of the bike path, across the street from Curtis Avenue and next to both a private horse farm and a plot set aside for community gar-

new park to take some of the pressure off Starr Farm." Parking is one of several controversial issues at the existing leash-liberating locale. A makeshift space for automobiles, which is used by community gardeners from spring through fall, became a mud pit as a result of dog folks using it all winter. For the time being, the focus has shifted to the paved lot at the children's playground and ball field further east on the same road. At yet another meeting on Tuesday, the Development Review Board will decide on the proposal to turn a rectangle of

dens. As early as this summer, the one-year pilot project could have competition. A meeting on Tuesday might result in the creation of a waterfront dog park in the Urban Reserve, a 40-acre stretch north of the Moran Plant. Wayne Gross, director of the Burlington Parks and Recreation Department, says his commission is seeking public feedback on a plan that "would be about the same size as the one on Starr Farm Road," he says, "but dogs would have access to the lake." To accommodate this bowwow beach, Parks and Rec must first ensure ample parking. "We might be able to build a small lot just north of the skateboard park. That's about 1000 feet f r o m t h e proposed dog enclosure, so this could be more of a walk-in situation than at the New North End site," Gross points out. "Mayor Clavelle has said he'd support this

land near the park entrance into a 16-car gravel lot. "We want to put a fence around it so the dogs can't go anywhere else when they get out of their cars," Gross says, noting a few instances of wayward beasts chasing horses in a nearby pasture. Equine encounters are among the complaints Kevin Curley has heard from his constituents about the Starr Farm experiment. The Ward 4 City Councilor is concerned about increased traffic, bad smells and even a possible threat to real-estate values for anyone trying to sell a house in the vicinity of Poopville. Curley is also irritated that the police departments animal-control officer has been called on a few occasions to check out reports of unruly mutts. A good night's sleep is at the heart of yet another imbroglio. "Dogs were barking like hell in the early morning, waking people up," Curley points out. "At first, there

were no limits on time for using the park. That's about to change in response to complaints at a hearing a few weeks ago." Signs have just gone up, says Gross. As of April 15, the park will only be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. from November through March, then 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. the rest of the year. "It's a wonderful thing to have a dog park," Curley concedes. "I'm definitely not against the idea, but we've got to find a better fit. Maybe the Intervale or somewhere they won't bother people. We have to consider the neighbors." Already, the park is attracting unwanted attention from out of town. Wayne Gross is puzzled that dog owners from Hinesburg and Bristol — each with plenty of rural land — have called for directions to Burlington's lively enclave. But on a recent Thursday before dusk, most of the dog-park patrons and their furry companions are from this particular 'hood: Mark Barlow and Oscar; Brent Howard and Ryeleigh; Marie Smith and Logan the Springer Spaniel-Black Lab mix; Gerald Koks and Moby the mutt; Ann Bombard and Diva the Pit Bull; Cheryl O'Toole and Jaaz, a rescued Greyhound sporting a plaid jacket. These well-trained humans, who arrive with their dogs leashed, dutifully scoop up the droppings when nature calls — trash bins and a cache of plastic bags are available for that purpose. Droolencrusted tennis balls and other treasures in a toy box are also available to entertain both Homo sapiens and man's best friend. A favorite game for Phoebe, an Australian Shepherd, is rounding up the other dogs. "Once in a while, I see that she has them all gathered together in the field," says Marlene Williamson, who shares a New North End house with this bossy bitch from Down Under. "This park is a blessing. Other places we went off-leash sometimes got a little problematic when she tried to herd children. If Phoebe could talk, she'd say, 'My dreams have come true. There is a dog God.'"

Williamson's daughter Sarah, 10, has fantasized about setting up a concession at the park for dispensing nutritious, homemade dog bones. That way Phoebe and her slobbering ensemble could munch while owners snack on their own edibl es at the wooden picnic table — the only "furniture" in sight — near the entrance. That scenario might well enhance the already strong Starr Farm camaraderie. J11st as the critters can learn to get along with each other in a 'cash-tree environment, people hnd they have obvious common ground. "Sometimes we talk about birth i nq and children," notes I'-athcrine Monje, who lives with Churchill and a 3-month-old puppy near the University of Vermont campus. "But usually just about dogs." Marlene Williamson has even thought about inviting fellow dogparkers to summer cookouts at her own digs. "It's a remarkable social opportunity for our neighborhood," observes Betsey Krumholz, a Burlington School Board member who counts herself among the dogpark boosters. "It's been young, old, all walks of life. You never know who you'll see there. The dogs have their little buddies." Even before Starr Farm became a formal park, that's where the Krumholz family took Gus, a Black Lab, for exercise. Yet she's more enthusiastic about it than her husband Charlie, who is bothered by its proximity to the community gardens — which he coordinates. Although he prefers to let his Husky-Yellow Lab run in the urban wilderness behind Kids Town in South Burlington, Burlington City Council President Andrew Montroll worked for years on the ordinance that made Starr Farm the first of five designated dog-friendly zones in the Queen City. Schmanska and Oakledge parks are other prospective locations, and a section of the Intervale owned by the Burlington Electric Department is also under consideration.

interests —; Softball, tennis, et cetera," Montroll says. "It didn't make sense to have no place people could recreate with their dogs. This is an important thing to do. But funding remains the big question." Parks and Rec head Wayne Gross recommends a sort of borrowing-from-Peter-to-pay-Paul process. The City, which sells about 2000 dog licenses each year, increased the fee from $12 to $17 in hopes of generating $10,000 annually for the specialized parks. Starr Farm has cost close to $8500 so far for fencing, trash removal and signage. If the new parking lot is approved, it could eat up another $5000. Do the math. "We're looking for the City Council to give us an advance on the next fiscal year's funding," Gross explains. "To construct the waterfront dog park, there's another $ 10,000 available again in July. But we may need to ask for more. We're not talking about a huge amount, and private donations are a possibility." The finances make Ward 4's Kevin Curley nervous, however. "I'm wondering how much money is already being spent in Parks and Recreation staff hours. That wasn't supposed to happen. It was all going to be handled by volunteers." But Curley seems willing to rein in his anti-paws crusade. "We'll see if it works with different rules in place," he says of the new Starr Farm time limits. Meanwhile, the "D.P." is bustling. Diva, Moby, Lamont and the gang, which now includes three-legged Roxie, have formed an energetic welcoming committee that greets each excited new arrival at the gate. Churchill emits several deep-throated, loud woofs. Sage howls. And Phoebe, a would-be leader of the pack, strategizes about coaxing these unfettered free spirits into an obedient herd. (Z)

Funding broadcasting is outside the scope of the states legitimate m purpose, which is to protect individuals from the use of unjustified force, and is repugnant to freedom of speech, which includes the freedoms not to speak and to abstain from subsidizing (through compulsory taxes) the speech of others. A related problem is the elitism of VPT and VPR. A politically selected few, who presume to know best how to allocate our news and information spending, choose programming and stick the rest of us with the cost of production and broadcasting. For the most part, VPT and VPR programming is aimed at an upperincome, highly educated audience. Such a subsidy, from the working class to the rich, is indefensible. As for the Freyne incident, such political intrigue is an inevitable result of public funding. We do not know where the truth lies nor should we o r e . These stations make thousands of decisions ever)' day, each one informed by the producers' opinions and politics. This decision received more attention than others not because it was more political, but because Freyne was positioned to make his complaints widely known. iilllilliiiilliiiliiliil^pi

DEBATE FIXING? I was surprised to see all the hubbub surrounding Peter Freyne's freedom of speech issue with VPT. Yet very little was said when VPT alienated all but the major two parties in a debate a few years back. Is Peter's freedom of speech more important than that of the political candidates that VPT alienated? According to VPT, the public was only interested in hearing what the Democrats and Republicans had to say that year. They cited a lack of time to hear all discussions and stopped the public from hearing from parties they had labeled "fringe." Where was the cry of "foul" from the media and Democrat Peter Shumlin when that breach of our most basic freedom was initiated. Please, remember that we the taxpayers subsidize VPT and VPR. This year let's allow the debating community to conduct debates, not just the press and public media. They should report on the debates, not organize and pre-determine the issues in an attempt to formulate opinions. — Joel Williams Poultney Joel Williams was the gubernatorial candidate for the Vermont Grassroots Party in 1996and 1998, and is seeking the gubernatorial nomination from the Vermont Libertarian Party this year.

Freyne has no right to express his views at taxpayer expense and neither should anyone else. Eliminating tax funding of VPR and VPT will render this fracas meaningless, end a subsidy for the well-off, and preserve our free-speech rights. It's the right thing to do. — Sheldon Katz South Burlington

PRICELESS PROSE? Cigarettes in Vermont: $28.35/carton. Cigarettes in New York $44/carton. Paranoid Peter Freyne's whining over Vermont Public Television firing his butt: Priceless. — Chip Haggerty Stowe

SELECTION, N O T CENSORSHIP How typical of Peter Freyne to read the self-promotional letter excerpts included in his April 3 Inside Track column from the tens of people upset at his recent disinvitation from VPT's "Vermont This Week." News for Peter: Many of us good liberal readers of his column still believe in a place for a bit of civility in discourse. Good for VPT for subscribing also.to some minimal standards in this regard. More news: Many of us who have read Peter for more than a decade are not upset at the prospect of his having one less local pulpit from which to bully. Freyne would do well to understand that mean-spirited name-calling is not the same as hard-hitting feporting; nor is having lots of time on your hands to think about just a few things the same as insightful commentary. The VPT issue is not one of free speech but of worthwhile speech; here, as usual, Freyne misses by a wide margin. His ability to offend is well established; his ability to inform is what has always been suspect.

local sugarers concerned about price and purity organize against a not-so-sweet deal

by Kevin J. Kelley

he families flocking to Palmers Sugarhouse on spring weekends are assured of getting the real thing: 100 percent pure Vermont maple syrup. The sugarbush that rolls across the hills above Steve Palmers shop in Shelburne has been a source of the states signature product for the past 135 years. But thousands of other Vermonters and flatlanders who purchase containers of maple syrup with the word "Vermont" on the label aren't necessarily getting what they think. They'd probably be surprised to learn that what they're actually buying is syrup made from sap tapped in Quebec. And they'd surely be shocked to know that much of that sap may have seeped from tapholes treated with an illegal pesticide or a poisonous chemical mixture.

The Vermont Department of Agriculture doesn't seem much concerned that consumers around the world are being misled as to the geographical origin of a product bearing the state's name. But several Vermont sugarmakers, fearing for their livelihoods, are warning that the-state's permissive maplesyrup labeling policy could undermine Vermont's image of agricultural integrity. State officials are more focused on public perception of the pricey product, and how negative news might impact sales. In a recent letter to his counterpart in Canada's federal government, Vermont Agriculture Commissioner Leon Graves wrote, "Imagine the disaster if the news media informed consumers that a poison was being used in the production of maple syrup."

n 2000, the latest year for which complete statistics are available, Vermont sugarmakers like Steve Palmer produced a total of 460,000 gallons of maple syrup. That's more than any other state, but it's a small fraction of what Quebec producers pipe out of their sugarbushes. The French-

speaking province accounts for about 80 percent of the maple syrup marketed worldwide, compared to Vermont's 5-percent share. However, most of the roughly four million gallons of syrup made from Quebec sap is processed or packaged annually in Vermont. In 2000, for example, Quebec was the place of origin for more than 95 percent of the 3.2 million gallons of non-Vermont syrup sold by Vermont-based companies. Much of that Quebec syrup is misleadingly labeled to suggest a Vermont origin. In fact, syrup produced from Vermont sugar maples accounts for only about one-seventh of the syrup processed or packaged in the state. The economics and politics of maple syrup conform to a similar ratio. Vermont's indigenous crop yielded a market price of $13 million in 2000, while the value of syrup imported to the state from Canada amounted to more than $100 million. It follows, then, that in-state processors and packagers of non-Vermont syrup would wield considerably more political power than do the state's own sugarmakers. Vermont agriculture officials are keenly attentive to the interests of the packing and processing industry, says Palmer, who has been trying to mobilize in-state producers to demand stricter labeling standards. "Our voices aren't heard as loudly," he laments. An ag department committee organized to study the labeling issue is dominated by the processing industry, and is thus "worthless," Palmer charges. Despairing of Montpelier's attitude, he's turned to Washington for help. Both the Federal Trade Commission and the Food and Drug Administration have listened "with interest" to the protests of Vermont sugarmakers, Palmer reports, and are now investigating the labeling controversy. The day is coming, he warns, when lessvalued Quebec syrup will force down maplesyrup prices to the point where many of Vermont's 2000 independent sugarmakers can no longer cover their costs. A gallon of top-grade Quebec syrup in the tank fetches about $16.50, compared to $22 for the

april 10, 2 0 0 2

Vermont product, estimates Henry Marckres, supervisor of the state ag department's consumer assurance section. "The effect of 'dumping' millions of gallons of Canadian syrup on the Vermont market has reduced the price that Vermont maple sugarmakers are able to obtain for their product," Palmer wrote in a 25-page study last year. This disparity "will ultimately result in much lower prices and the eventual disappearance of much of the maple industry in Vermont." Dave Folino takes the long view, too. Although the Starksboro sugarmaker sells a quarter of his crop to processors, he is supporting Palmer in his quest for stricter labeling laws and enforcement. "If French wine were actually from Chile, but bottled in France with a French label, consumers would be pissed. If people realize they are being deceived, it's going to hurt the packers and everyone else in the long term." According to Deputy Agriculture Commissioner Louise Calderwood, state regulations require that the word "Vermont," when part of the name of a packing company, can appear only on the bottom third of a can containing syrup processed in the state but produced elsewhere. Federal law further demands that syrup of Quebec origin must be labeled "Product of Canada." The term "Vermont Pure" can lawfully be used only for syrup entirely produced in the state, Calderwood notes. She and Marckres both acknowledge, however, that many maple-syrup purchasers pay no attention to these fine labeling distinctions when grabbing a container of the sweet stuff at the grocery or gift shop. Yet Calderwood insists that Vermont vigilantly monitors the labeling of its most famous product. "It's an issue we take very seriously," she says, pointing to the case of a New Hampshire producer who was fined $10,000 three years ago for falsely marketing his syrup as Vermont-made. Palmer contends, however, that the state is selectively and inadequately enforcing its

own labeling standard. He points to a Vermont regulation stating, "No maple syrup may be labeled as being a Vermont product, or labeled in any manner which could imply that the maple syrup was produced in Vermont, unless the maple syrup is 100 percent pure maple syrup which was entirely produced within the state of Vermont..." One of the largest in-state processors of Quebec syrup conforms to the letter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though perhaps not the spirit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of Vermont's regulations. Maple Grove Farms of Vermont does display its logo on the bottom third of the front of containers labeled "100% pure MAPLE SYRUP" on top. The notation "Product of USA and Canada" appears in a smaller font on the back. The actual content of the containers is syrup from Quebec mixed with a small amount of syrup from a New England state. About 95 percent of the 1 million gallons a year processed by his company comes from Quebec, says Steve Jones, general manager of Maple Grove Farms of Vermont. The St. Johnsbury-based processor owns no sugarbush in Vermont. Maple Grove is a subsidiary of B&G Foods, a New Jersey corporation that last year reported profits of $6 million on sales of $332 million. B&G employs more than 600 workers, including 125 year-round in Vermont. The financial clout of its parent company ensures that Maple Grove Farms of Vermont gets a respectful hearing in Montpelier on issues such as product labeling. Jones readily concedes that many consumers assume the syrup in the company's cans was made exclusively from Vermont maple sap. "I don't think the fact that consumers are misled really hurts anyone," he reasons, noting that Vermont sugarmakers sell their entire crop every year. Henry Marckres of the Vermont ag department has a similar view. "All the Vermont syrup that's produced gets sold, so I don't fear dumping of Quebec syrup in Vermont."

AGAINST THE FLOW? Shelburne sugarer Steve Palmer would like to see stricter labeling on maple syrup

Jones adds that he would not be opposed to new state laws or regulations that might clarify the origin of maple syrup "as long as I'm allowed to display my company's name on the label." Springtree Maple Products, another large Vermont-based processor of Quebec syrup, does not use the word "Vermont" on its labels except in small print as part of the company's address in Brattleboro. Foregoing prominent use of the state's charismatic name was "probably a conscious decision" on the part of Springtree's owners, says inventory manager Barbara Nokes. In regard to Vermont's other large maple-syrup processor, Nokes opines, "If it says 'Maple Grove Farms of Vermont' on a label, you would have to assume that the syrup was from Vermont."

he allegations have since been confirmed. Evidence of paraformaldehyde applications was found at 55 percent of the large-scale Quebec maple farms (those with more than 10,000 trees) that were included in a random survey conducted last year by Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency. About one-quarter of smaller producers surveyed were also found to be using the pesticide. Paraformaldehyde is inserted in tablet form to keep tap holes open and flowing for a few weeks beyond the time they would naturally close. Traces of it are seldom discovered in finished maple syrup because the

Quebec officials say they are cracking down on the use of paraformaldehyde. Last year, they note, a company in the province was fined $50,000 for manufacturing the pesticide for maple syrup production. Farmers found to be using it will also be subject to fines, the officials say. Partly as a result of the threat of stricter enforcement, some Quebec sugarmakers are believed to be turning to denatured alcohol as a substitute for paraformaldehyde. In a Feb. 20 letter to Canadian Agriculture Minister Lyle Vanclief, Graves noted that the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers is recommending and selling denatured alcohol. This "poisonous product

Because neither the labeling nor adulteration issues are well known — even in Vermont — the State Legislature has not focused its attention on the likely need for remedial action. But at least one State Senator, Democrat Ginny Lyons of Chittenden County, is sympathetic to the concerns raised by Steve Palmer and the 150 other Vermont sugarmakers who have signed a petition calling for stricter labeling standards. Lyons, vice-chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee, says she is considering sponsoring a bill to require unambiguous point-of-origin labeling for maple syrup processed or produced in Vermont. "The Vermont name is too important to be jeopardized," Lyons says. And she agrees that current standards are wholly misleading.

don't think the fact that consumers are misled really hurts anyone/' — Steve Jones, general manager Maple Grove Farms of Vermont

n contrast to their apparently casual attitude about misleading labels on maple syrup, Vermont officials are clearly worried about some Quebec tappers' use of banned or dangerous substances.

Vermont Agriculture Commissioner Leon Graves last year warned his Quebec counterpart that the state might launch an embargo against maple syrup from the province. Graves cited "currently unsubstantiated" reports that many Quebec maple producers were using paraformaldehyde, a pesticide banned in both Canada and the United States.

chemical gets steamed off during the boiling process, says Brian Stowe of the Proctor Maple Research Center in South Burlington. Use of paraformaldehyde on trees thus does not pose a threat to human health, Stowe says. But researchers have found that application of the pesticide is likely to shorten the productive life of maple trees from 75 to 25 years. Quebecois sugarers who make use of paraformaldehyde, which has been banned in Vermont since 1980, also gain an unfair competitive advantage. The protracted flow enables them to pipe even larger quantities of sap, most of which gets shipped to Vermont.

that uses the skull-and-crossbones symbol in product information" may be even more damaging to trees and to users than is paraformaldehyde, Graves told Vanclief. Denatured alcohol is also not found in finished maple syrup because it evaporates during boiling, Graves acknowledged. But no testing has been done as to its effect on trees, the Vermont commissioner noted. Graves also expressed concern about the safety and health of tappers using denatured alcohol. "Exposure to this type of chemical requires the use of masks, gloves and eye protection," he said, adding, "It is very unlikely that people tapping trees are following these guidelines."

Lyons tells of having breakfast at her sister-in-law's home in Ohio as a container of syrup with a Maple Grove Farms of Vermont label was being passed around the table. "Oh, look," Lyons recalls her sister-in-law saying, "we're having maple syrup from Vermont." Lyons ruefully recounts, "I had to point out to her that it was actually from Quebec." ®

A cautionary tale about renting right in Montreal B Y JEANNE KELLER

aving a summer sublet in Montreal sounds great, doesn't it? A pied-h-terre in the cosmopolitan city just an hour from the Vermont border means inexpensive accommodations for the jazz, film and fireworks festivals, and more. But even though I've rented a summer apartment in Montreal for years, it didn't seem like such a good idea to me last June. Arriving home one Friday night, my roommates and I opened the door to find that everything was gone — futons, coffee maker, bath towels. None of our stuff was valuable, but nevertheless it was missing. A scrawled message in French taped to the front door suggested this wasn't a simple robbery: Mon dieu! We'd been evicted. While much of the French in the handwritten note was beyond our vocabularies, there was an apartment number along with the exclamation points. Knocking at that door, we found ourselves at the tiny apartment of the janitor and his extended family. No one spoke English and he had no clue who we were. But when we showed him the note, he was not pleased. "Where is Monsieur Brian?" he demanded, according to Robin, the best French speaker among us Vermonters. And then: "II est voleur!" accompanied by much yelling and fist-shaking. But let me go back to the beginning and tell you how not to sublet an apartment in Montreal. The first time we did so, in 1997, we assumed the lease of a student returning home to Hong Kong for the summer. It was strictly legit. The student introduced me to the building manager, who witnessed the sublease agreement, and I deposited monthly rent checks into

a box next to his office. Our next studio apartment was a rental directly from the landlord. Because we had a lease of our own, the janitor at least knew who we were when we came to complain about a leaky ceiling. Lulled by the ease of these transactions, we started our apartment search last summer by eyeballing bulletin boards around the school. We wanted a place close to the sites of the jazz and film festivals, and the "McGill Ghetto" — the little pocket of apartments between University and Avenue du Pare — suited us nicely. O n the board outside the McGill music school we found a great listing: a studio on Durocher for June through August, $420 Canadian a month. "Call Brian," the notice advised, and we did. Brian showed us his place and it was indeed just right — a main room that would easily hold three futons for our summer tribe, with a kitchen alcove and a clean bathroom down the hall. A large sliding glass door led to a tiny balcony, which provided plenty of air and light. Brian was leaving for the summer to teach at Tanglewood, after a month with his mum in Nova Scotia. We wrote a simple sublease agreement, then he took our post-dated checks from my Montreal bank account and showed us the post-dated checks he would give the landlord. We moved in the first weekend in June. Two weekends later we were trying to calm down the janitor and find out why he was calling Brian a thief. And where the hell was our furniture? Robin and I stumbled through the explanations and translations for several minutes before it became clear: Brian's check had bounced.

Friday, April 26,2002,5-7pm on the Ticonderoga at the Shelbume Museum

The janitor hadn't seen Brian around for several weeks and assumed he had split. Using his passkey to enter the apartment, he saw what could only be described as a crash pad. So he cleaned out the apartment, having no idea who we were and what we were doing there. Nor was he going to give us access to the apartment — or our stuff — unless we came up with the rent. No matter that Brian had my checks for June, July and

from the basement. The rest of the story is that Brian called back, mortified, and sent me a check for June. Unfortunately, his July check also bounced, so we had to visit the janitor and pay cash again. Brian sent another check. I told him to forget August; we paid the rent in cash, and Brian picked up the Hydro bill for the whole summer as restitution. But believe it or not, our troubles didn't end there.

Tickets are $50 per person and ail proceeds benefit t h e W o m e n ' s Rape Crisis Center. For more information and tickets, call t h e WRCC at 864-0555.

We arrived at the end of August, ready to camp out for the whole film festival, only to find another note on the door — this time from the building owner, Mr. Amirault. I called him and found that he was looking for the July and August rent, and expected us to be out by the end of the month. Thankfully he spoke English, but it didn't really matter what our story was. It seemed the janitor had skipped out, taking all our

"Uh-huh, yeah, er... I'm working on thai proposal for you as we speak sir/'

scrawled message in French taped to the front door suggested this wasn' a simple robbery: Mon dieu! We'd been evicted. August. Luckily, I had kept the scribbled sublease and Brian's forwarding information. We called the Nova Scotia number. I was greatly relieved when Brian's mother answered the phone. She had deposited my check in his account, she said. But gee, she guessed, maybe my check didn't clear before the landlord cashed Brian's. She was extremely apologetic and gave us the Tanglewood phone number. I had no choice but to believe her when she said this would all be made right. Meanwhile, we also had no choice but to pay the June rent on the spot, in cash, to get our stuff back into the apartment and take possession for at least that month. Interestingly, the janitor hadn't thrown it out. In fact, he had packed everything more carefully and neatly than a professional, and his wife helped us carry it back up

By then the janitor was acting like our best friend, and we laughed together about "Monsieur Brian, le voleur." He told us he had explained the situation to the building's owner for us. The apartment really was great — an easy walk to everything, including a great brunch place for Saturday mornings. By the end of August we were thinking how convenient it would be to carry the sublease into September and stay for the whole film festival. But when I approached the janitor, he told me it couldn't be done. Then, about 15 minutes later, he knocked on our door. He was carrying a notebook with all the apartments listed in it. He said, "I'm doing you a big favor. The lease usually ends in August. I'll have the next 12month lease start in October." We'd need to pay the rent to him now, in cash, so he could hold the apartment. Excellent.

rent money along with computers and a guitar or two from a couple of tenants. There were no records that we had paid anything since June. Mr. Amirault said the apartment was already rented for September. He honored the janitors receipts I could produce for July and August, but since we had no legitimate lease with him for September, we had to move out in the middle of the film festival and eat the rent we'd paid our friend the janitor. The moral of the story? Just because its Canada doesn't mean you won't get ripped off. Do what we're doing this summer: Deal directly with the official building management or landlord. Don't expect someone who is leaving town to care if your rent is paid on time. Never pay cash and always get receipts. And beware the concierge. ®

Candon Erupts! — Lovely letter to the editor in Tuesday's Rutland Herald from Mark Candon, the Republican stockbroker who got crushed by Bernie Sanders in the 1998 Vermont congressional race (63 percent - 32 percent). Candon, apparently, still hasn't successfully treated his "Why Won't the Masses Follow Me?" problem. In his letter, Mark wildly throws his punches at Bill Clinton, the Rutland Herald, The Burlington Free Press and yours truly. He describes this writer as "pusillanimous," and claims yours truly "sides with the left." Obviously, Mr. Free Enterprise missed our recent "Tony the Phony" series. Candon, a Moors & Cabot broker, also blasts the Rutland Herald for not writing a story about the recent book, Coloring the News. (We mentioned it here a couple months ago, actually.) It devotes a few pages to the story of ex-reporter Paul Teetor's infamous lawsuit against The Burlington Free Press a few years ago.

"At the least, maybe you should read the book," writes Candon. But, apparently, Mr. Candon didn't bother to read it himself. If he had, he'd know yours truly is the columnist cited for obtaining court documents during the trial's discovery process. Those internal Burlington Free Press documents blew the lid off Gannett's internal policies mandating racial quotas in the newsroom and on the news pages. In a landmark assault on the First Amendment by an American newspaper, Gannett and its Freeps went to Chittenden Superior Court seeking a gag order to block yours truly's coverage of the Teetor v. Burlington Free Press case.

Starting Monday, Bernie Sanders' new campaign manager reports for duty. Peter Sterling of Worcester has been a VPIRG organizer for five years. Sterling told Seven Days that, unlike last time, when he "just went through the motions," Bernie wants to run a "serious" campaign this time, regardless of who the opponent is. Last time OP Bernardo scored his biggest landslide ever, defeating Republican Karen Kerin 69 percent - 18 percent. This time Kerin is being challenged in the Republican Primary by Bill Meub of Rutland. And the Sanders campaign Web site is up and running at www.Bernie.org.

Discover Jazz Festival, :;

Needless to say, they didn't get

one. This isn't North Korea. The Columbia Journalism Review accurately labeled Gannett's stunning legal move an "act of professional treason." In the annals of American press freedom, nothing compares to it. Recently, the St. Albans Messenger, Barton Chronicle and Rutland Herald have all weighed in editorially on the current VPT "censorship" story. The Burlington Free Press, however, has remained silent, just as it did on civil unions. Who's surprised? The paper's First Amendment track record speaks for itself. VPT Update — Yours truly has been invited to a Wednesday afternoon meeting at Vermont Public Television by station manager and vice-president Dan Harvey. Also attending, we're told, will be Executive Producer Joe Merone and Christopher Graff, the host and "producer" of "Vermont This Week." At the end of last Friday's program, Mr. Graff addressed the current dispute head on. Earlier, VPT President John King announced that "guidelines" would be drawn up and put in place to make sure no one ever again dares call the politically active, fanatical religious right in this state the "Vermont Taliban." That January 18 "offensive" expression, according to King, was what cost yours truly a seat on the panel. But Mr. Graff announced onair that there will be no guidelines drawn up or put in place to regulate, restrict or censor the voices of the Vermont journalists who participate. Christopher, a Middlebury grad and ye*erau Vermont journal-v. ist, runs the Associated Press • bureau in Montpeculiar. He announced he would assume a new title on the program, that of "managing editor." From now on, Mr. Graff will be the one responsible for booking the panel, rather than VPT management. That should eliminate the possibility that their editorial judgment might be swayed by outside political forces. Good move. Yours truly is but a small player in this recent drama. It's really about something much bigger — the First Amendment. Last year, you'll recall, we took Gov. Dean to the Inside Track woodshed when he stomped on the First Amendment toes of conservative Republican columnist James Dwinell. Ho-Ho quickly saw the light and has since taken Jimmy the Jokers press conference interrogatories just like everyone else's. Never forget, the First Amendment exists not to protect popular viewpoints, but unpopular ones. • Thomas Jefferson put it best in a January 28, 1786, letter to James Currie. "Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press," wrote Jefferson, "and that cannot be limited without being lost." VPT President John King publicly admitted last week he "mishandled" this matter. Good for him. Takes a big man to admit a mistake. Lets hope it sugars out as a "free speech" lesson for all of us — a lesson that censorship is a price "TV worth watching" can never afford to pay. ©

Main Street is an interesting introduction to an enigmatic local band — a bunch of sarcastic bastards, for sure — and one that I'd like to hear more of or see live. Until then, we have this album, which I like. It may not be the easiest record to listen to, but I suspect The Flag Poles don't care if you like them or not. And that makes me like them even more. — Colin Clary

MAILBOX, WHAT HAVE I

DONE??!!

(1996-2001)

(Superpickle Music Arts, CD) — The pet project of elusive Burlington multi-instrumentalist Adam Rabin — who inexplicably goes by "Irving" — Mailbox have spent the last seven years perfecting their own twisted brand of catchy, orchestral pop. Though the band was originally a studio-only venture, Irving has recently put together like-minded friends Nick Rigopulos on guitar, bassist Jeff Margolis and drummer Tim Sharbaugh to deliver the Mailbox sound to the stage. Accompanying the jump to live performance is the release of a greatest-hits-type package, What Have I Done??!! Featuring 12 tracks culled from Mailbox's first six CDs, WHID is a rare breed of compilation — an album that is both an informative retrospective and an interesting listen on its own. Aside from a smattering of guest musicians, the sounds on WHID were all written, played and recorded by Irving himself. Though essentially a solo project, the songs are not stripped-down bedroom pop. Irving has a penchant for both ear-grabbing hooks and intricate instrumentation that makes his songs sonically and lyrically impressive. Much like stoner

jokesters Ween, Irving writes tunes that jump genres with alarming ease while retaining surreal lyrics and biting wit. "I like my cafe mocha pot/Like I like my women, hot/And in a big cup," Irving quips on the album opener, "Little Cocobean." The tune drifts by with rattling Latin percussion and guest Rich Steele's breezy English horn. "My Monsters and I" is a theatrical, keyboard-driven jaunt — think Styx composing an opera with the Addams family. With fuzzed guitars and pure-pop harmony aplenty, "Garage Sailin'" presents an epic tale of thrift-shop adventure. "Keep Sharp Objects Away From Children" is a 30-second rant that sounds like Weird Al Yankovic doing a home-safety announcement. What Have I Done??!! is an engaging album that makes you want to explore the rest of the band's work. Irving's decision to make Mailbox a live act will expose a new audience to the group's unique brand of humorous altpop. Their debut on stage is this Saturday, with neo-New Wavers The Static Age at The Space in Burlington. Further Mailbox information and M P 3 downloads of the album are available at www.superpickle.com. — Ethan Covey

MAGDALEN H S U - U , FIRE (Chickpop Records, CD) — You can learn a lot about a musician from liner notes. In those on Magdalen Hsu-Li's second album, Fire, we are informed, "Magdalen appears courtesy of herself." This is not a woman who needs anyone's permission to appear. She also thanks "Gore for winning, and George W. and Britney Spears for giving me two tasty morsels to rail against." That's right, Magdalen is one sassy, liberal chick. You got a problem with that?

Hsu-Li is being marketed as an Asian Tori Amos, and it's a fair, if opportunistic, description. She's beautiful, plays the piano and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Clearly, a childhood spent as a member of a minority in the rural South has given Hsu-Li empathy for those who struggle against the tide of a culture controlled by someone else. Fire is rife with folky, alternative songs about identity, perception and persecution. The instruments are mainly a piano and Hsu-Li's lovely voice, with periodic touches from drums, guitar, trumpet, flugelhorn and cello. The C D starts with "Redefinition," and it's probably not a coincidence that the lyrics fit in perfectly with her upcoming lecture at UVM, "Performance and Redefinition of Identity — Asian Women in the Arts." Hsu-Li has been tirelessly working the college circuit for the past couple of years, and seems to have found her niche among those sympathetic, progressive ears. In "Compassion," she sums up her mission statement well: "We lie in our own beds, my friend/We build them in a fashion/But mine were built to cultivate awareness and compassion." She continues "on message" with a song called "As I Am." It's the funkiest song on the disc, no doubt eliciting comparisons to Ani DiFranco. "We live in a world of fear, we live in a world of hate," she sings. "We are still divided, although we are called the United States." "Laramie" is dedicated to Matthew Shepard and the community of Laramie, Wyoming, where he was murdered for being a homosexual. If ever anger were appropriate for a song subject, this one would be it. And yet, Hsu-Li finds the strength to focus her energy on tolerance and understanding: "Don't give up, don't fill • your hearts with hate/Don't regret anything before it is too late/It takes an open mind and a second sight/to see the other side of Laramie." Atmospheric drums and guitar keep the tone emotional without being sappy. While a handful of songs have a high yawn factor, hang around for an unnamed bonus track at the end. Hsu-Li is a fine folk minstrel, but punk-pop may be her true calling. She sings and lectures this Tuesday at 7 p.m. at UVM's Billings North Lounge. — Kirt Zimmer

Three's B Y M A R C AWODEY

he "Three Directions" represented by Lynn Brooks-Korn, Anne Labovitz and Christine Lomax at the T.W. Wood Gallery this month are mutually complimentary, though the reason is not readily apparent. Labovitz is showing 19 figurative paintings, Lomax presents 15 mixedmedia sculptural objects, and Brooks-Korn has installed eight large-scale abstract acrylics on unstretched canvas. Perhaps the artists were curated together because of a shared intuitive approach to making art. O r maybe it's just that their three directions seem to lead to a similar place. Lomax is a sculptural fiber artist whose works have been dyed the hues of the natural world — browns, mossy greens, passages of indigo and gray. She constructs from sewn cloth, padded felt and other fibrous materials that sometimes have the look of ceramics. Her "Jaybecreations" are coiled like pots built without a wheel, or primitive baskets that have no utility other than to intrigue. But Lomax infuses each piece with an organic spirit more closely related to living corals or "Self Portrait VI fungi than to ceramics or basketry. The "Bioscreen Vessel" series contains Lomax's most polymorphous pieces. "Bioscreen Vessel #3" is a lopsided vessel with cheesecloth draped over its rim like a fish net, as if the object were a creature just captured from the sea. "Bioscreen Vessel #2" is a tightly stitched vertical tube, like an anemone, but a long blue and green cloth hangs across its side as if it were a shoulder strap. BrooksKorn is essentially an Abstract Expressionist, and some of her paintings also make references to the sea. Her largest pieces are the strongest. T h e 8-by-12-foot "Pacific Fury #2" is painted on three four-footwide sections of canvas that were laid side-byside and painted simultaneously in splatters, poured paint and dribbles, but with very little brushwork. T h e colors are vibrant and simple — Turquoise, light browns and an array of grays are spiced with moderate measures of crimson. Each of the largest pieces is essentially part of a triptych, but the sections are integrated and not autonomous panels. A long red arc sweeps across "Pacific Fury #10," while "Pacific Fury #8" has blue arcs. T h e

latter also makes use of green glitter, and clashing complementary colors invoke the fury BrooksKorn refers to in the title of the series. But her gestural painting style is less effective in the smaller works; the 20-by-28-inch paintings of her "Red Tide" series seem cramped compared to the epic "Pacific Fury" works.

Labovitz's 40-by-32-inch portraits and abstract self-portraits combine the distortions of Francis Bacon with the basic head-shot compositions of Chuck Close. Elements of both drawing and painting surface in each image. Most of these faces are in black and white. An exception is "Self Portrait IV," in which sketched sienna features and yellow ocher tint make it seem like an inprogress grisaille painting that has received only its first glaze. That kind of i x rawness is one f of the most compelling ingredients of Labovitzs I work. T h e subject of "Self Portrait VI" has a large crease in the top of his head, almost like "Elephant Man" John Merrick, and a sort of twisting motion in the face. T h e asymmetry of Labovitz's figures lends some of them poignancy, while others simply look quizzical. Perhaps "Three Locations" would have been a more apt title for this show. Labovitz, BrooksKorn and Lomax- have each found a productive artistic locale, and they seem to have arrived at it simultaneously, if from different directions. From here to even greater insight, it's just an uphill climb. ®

Perhaps the artists were curated together becaus of a shared intuitive approach to making art.

Wang Wei spent his life torn between his need for power and prestige, wealth and influence in the government, and his desire for the eremitic life of poverty, withdrawal, and meditation. The poet Yu-ling, on the other hand, loved country life and shunned official posts. Once the King of Chu sent for Yu-ling and offered him a lot of money to serve in the King's government, but Yu-ling, preferring his life at home working as a gardener and woodcutter, refused the King's offer of wealth and influence in the capital, and stayed, instead, at home in poverty and anonymity.

We know of Yu-ling's story only because Wang Wei was magnanimous enough to write it down. If it weren't for Wang Wei, Yu-ling's story would be lost forever. Yet we notice also that only Yu-ling's story survives. No one knows any of his poems. In one of Wang Wei's poems, he says, Lonely Yu-ling is merely pailing water for his garden. Why does Wang Wei say lonely, why does he say merely? Is watering a garden not as important as the actions of a government official?

You just k n o w Carl Franklin has a great movie in h i m . H e c a m e close to m a k i n g it w i t h 1992 s One False Move a n d , w i t h every film since, you h a d to w o n d e r w h e t h e r this w o u l d be the one. High Crimes is n o t it. But Franklin comes surprisingly close. A d a p t e d f r o m a novel by Joseph Finder, the picture tells the story of a babeliscious a t t o r n e y (Ashley J u d d ) w h o s e idyllic life is t u r n e d upside d o w n w h e n she discovers her h u s b a n d has been living u n d e r an assumed n a m e a n d is w a n t e d by the U.S. g o v e r n m e n t for atrocities h e supposedly c o m m i t t e d as a M a r i n e years before in El Salvador. J i m Caviezel costars a n d gives a convincing p e r f o r m a n c e as a m a n w h o knows the military intimately e n o u g h to u n d e r s t a n d h e doesn't stand a chance of proving he's the victim of a vast conspiracy. J u d d d r o p s her other cases a n d devotes herself to proving that a n o t h e r soldier in his u n i t was responsible for b u t c h e r i n g a half dozen or so m e n , w o m e n a n d children in cold blood. Q u i c k l y realizing t h a t law a n d military law are two entirely differe n t ballgames, J u d d recruits a colorful e x - d r u n k of a rebel barrister played by M o r g a n Freeman. H e brings m u c h - n e e d e d military c o u r t r o o m experience to the defense team, a n d m u c h - n e e d e d breeziness a n d charisma to the film. A n d that's good, because early o n High Crimes flirts w i t h the lesser crime of sinking into beleaguered-babetakes-on-the-system, Lifetime C h a n n e l territory. Franklin finds his stride in act two, however, a n d things begin to c o m e together as the story takes a succession of nifty twists. O n e m i n u t e Caviezel looks like h e m i g h t be guilty after all a n d , the next, s o m e o n e o n his team uncovers s o m e t h i n g to change o u r m i n d s . Viewers are p i n g - p o n g e d right u p to the final climactic sequence. Personal taste will dictate w h e t h e r o n e experiences the Big LastM i n u t e Twist as a masterstroke or a misstep. As w i t h the best of this director's w o r k , the real pleasures here are in the small m o m e n t s a n d vivid details of character. F r o m a distance Franklin's latest m a y have the look of cookie-cutter H o l l y w o o d p r o d uct, b u t , o n closer inspection, it proves deceptively d a r k a n d quirky. W h i l e J u d d is the m o v i e s star, she's also a fish o u t of water. Virtually every o t h e r m e m b e r of the cast seems m o r e suited to t h e project's t o n e a n d style. A m a n d a Peet a n d A d a m Scott d o consistently intriguing s u p p o r t work, a n d Freeman's the coolest giant killer since Erin Brockovich. T h i s certainly isn't the career high p o i n t for Franklin or for anyo n e else associated w i t h the picture. A t the s a m e time, High Crimes is packed w i t h pleasant surprises a n d defies the low expectations its ad c a m p a i g n inspires. ®

rising stars? Adolescents are often dazed and confused, but 17-year-old Matthew Lazarus has a vision sharp enough to slice bread. The Essex Junction resident's brash brio is evident when he speculates on the instant success that awaits him as a filmmaker. "I know that Suburbia Burning will make it," says writer-director-producer Lazarus, referring to the debut feature he plans to shoot primarily in his hometown this summer. "If not, my next picture will have a higher budget and that'll make it." His script concerns teens in rebellion against the kind of leafy community that has come to represent dull complacency. One character is "a benign anarchist," he explains. Another "goes from juvenile-delinquent antics to assault, arson and murder." Ask Lazarus to describe the plot ofJingle Hell — his 30-minute collaborative project that screens at this weekend's Fledgling Film Festival in Burlington — and he doesn't hesitate: "A young boy's obsession with Christmas that takes him on a darkly psychotic winter wonderland tour in the middle of July." After dropping out of high school in his junior year, Lazarus initially thought about becoming a stand-up comic. On a whim, he attended the Fledgling Films Summer Institute, an annual program for young cineastes launched by Jay Craven and Bess O'Brien of Kingdom County Productions. The kids join forces to create shorts; three of last summer's efforts are included in the festival. "Working as a group is not my thing," Lazarus acknowledges, "but it inspired me to do Suburbia Burning." Moreover, he met a New York University film student working as a Fledgling counselor and assistant director on Jingle Hell. "She is precisely the kind of person I want to fall in love with some day," Lazarus says of this 22-year-old muse whose hip credentials persuaded him to forego the stand-up-comic route to fame. Remarkably film-literate, Lazarus can rattle off names that would probably be unfamiliar to most of his generation: D.W. Criffith, Fritz Lang, Sidney Lumet. "You can only tell genius, like, 50 years later," he suggests. "I've learned that from Orson Welles and Stanley Kubrick." Although born in South Korea and adopted as a baby Lazarus maintains that his ethnicity is Eastern European Jew. "I'm the greatest Jewish magician of all time — not excluding Harry Houdini." Abracadabra: After raising $12,000 for Suburbia Burning— thanks to the largesse of friends and relatives — Lazarus is even handing out promotional T-shirts designed by his artist father, Douglas. The enfant terrible anticipates a cast of 20, a crew of six and a 15-day shooting schedule. "It's an economy budget, not a low budget. That's supposed to be the great promise of digital video," he declares, leaping up from his seat for emphasis. "It makes everyone a film democrat." Nothing is likely to deter Lazarus, who blazes with intellectual intensity. "I'll finish this film, even if I have to make it with sock puppets. If I die, my ghost will do it," pledges the lad whose biblical last name is in fact associated with rising from the dead. "Right now, I'm just a kid in Vermont pressed against a plate-glass window, looking in. If I make a movie,that generates any heat whatsoever, it's gonna change my paradigm." The paradigm of the first-ever Fledgling festival, unspooling Friday and Saturday in City Hall Auditorium, centers on 56 narrative shorts, documentaries, animations and experimental fare by, for and about young people. With categories such as "Questioning Authority" and "Who I Am," the event is sure to tap into some major 'tude. One nonfiction selection, No Loitering, will provide a glimpse of Alaskan attitude — specifically in a little island burg called Sitka, where isolation helps fuel teen angst. The Oscar-nominated Promises is a particularly timely look at the tragic Israeli-Palestinian impasse as seen through the eyes of children on both sides.

An earlier conflict — the "war at home" as combat raged in Vietnam — is the subject of Jay Craven's The Year That Trembled, opening this Friday at the Nickelodeon. Set in the early 1970s, when the Ohio National Guard The Year That Trembled killed four unarmed protestors at Kent State University, the picture won an award at the recent Cleveland International Film Festival. A Buckeye State review hailed it as an "elegiac, well-acted ensemble drama," in which Craven "adroitly juggles multiple characters, like Robert Altman with an extra dose of gentle humanism." © For information on the Fledgling Film Festival, call 592-3190.

SEVEN DAYS

Cecil, Hello, I've looked around for documentation and evidence to refute or validate the statement my sociology professor made to illustrate that the world isn't really what it seems. He claims that "one out of every eight humans has had sex with an animal." Please respond if you're going to investigate "the old one in eight" as my professor calls it. — Au Simpson Maybe I lack initiative, but this didn't seem like the kind of thing where you could just go out on the street and ask for a show of hands. So I camped out in the medical library looking for articles on zoophilia, or the love of one's fellow creatures. Highlights of my results: According to Alfred Kinsey — you knew I was going to drag him into this — "some 17 percent of the farm boys in our sample had had some sexual contact with farm animals to the point of orgasm, while half or more of the boys from certain rural areas of the United States had had such experience." Kinsey later alludes to the greater tolerance for such things in the West. I take this to mean that in Kinseys day, when you saw a happy couple walking down the aisle in Wyoming, it was better than even money that the groom had had sex with a sheep. Not necessarily today, though. Comparative studies of 100 students at the University of Northern Iowa found that in

1974, 11 percent (of college students, mind you) had had sexual contact with an animal, but in 1980 only 3 percent had. Unanswered question: Did this reflect the more conservative national mood heralded by the election of Ronald Reagan, or just greater access to color TV? You think it's just homy farm boys that do this? I have a report about a 42-year-old woman with four children who was five months pregnant. She complained to her doctor of dizziness and fainting and "confessed that approximately 20 minutes prior to her arrival she had had coitus with her German shepherd dog... One or two minutes later she began feeling hot, broke out in whelps [!] and felt faint." She was allergic to dog semen, the loser. Back to statistics. I found a study on the prevalence of bestiality among psychiatric patients, ordinary hospital patients and psychiatric staff. Its abstract noted: "Psychiatric patients were found to have a statistically higher prevalence rate (55%) of bestiality than the control groups (10% and 15% respectively)." What struck me was not that the first group had a high rate — hey, they were psychiatric patients — but the implication that, as your professor claimed, maybe one in eight ordinary people was doing it with goats. However, it turns out that two out of 20 ordinary hospital patients, and three out of 20 psychiatric staff (two of them female) had merely fantasized about sexual contact with an animal — none had done any-

thing about it. Still, it's interesting to think that when you're walking down the street looking good, five out of 40 people you pass are more interested in your Irish setter. According to The Encyclopedia of Unusual Sex Practices by Brenda Love (sure), avisodomy is "the ancient practice of having sex with a bird. As the man is about to orgasm he breaks the neck of the bird, causing the bird's cloaca sphincter to constrict and spasm, thus creating pleasurable sensations for the man." Turning the page, I see where "a sheepherder in South Africa evidently became so proficient that he devised a technique whereby he cut two holes at the bottom of his jacket in which to insert the hind legs of sheep to anchor them in place for coitus."

I bet even the sheepherders think this is weird: One fellow with a type of zoophilia called formicophilia "was preoccupied with collecting snails, ants, cockroaches and frogs, and then masturbating while these creatures crawled on his body." After 12 weeks of therapy he was still doing this once a week, but three times a week he was masturbating with conventional porn. Progress! A study of 51 chronic zoophiles found that for 88 percent of the women the main motive was "emotional involvement," whereas 59 percent of the men said they did it because it was cheaper.

trumpeting terry

SeLeCTs

Miles Davis and Quincy Jones both vouch for this guy. Louis Armstrong called him "my favorite trumpeter." Clark Terry played in the bands of Duke Ellington and Count Basie before he became the first African-American musician signed to "The Tonight Show." The 81-year-old is still blowing people away — on stage and in the classroom. Known as "Americas Number One Jazz Educator," he works members of the University of Vermont Jazz Ensemble into a joyous jam.

babes in burkas? The best way to infiltrate Afghanistan? Behind a burka, in the case of Nafas, an Afghan-born reporter, on a personal mission in Kyber country. The French film Kandahar tells the story of a woman who conceals herself in order to find a sister who was "accidentally left behind" when the family fled to Canada. Nafas joins a caravan of refugees along the way. The award-winning movie offers a different view of the Middle East, with a hard focus on the Taliban. Kandahar. Wednesday, April 10. Rutland Movieplex, 1:30 & 7 p.m. $7.50. Info, 775-5413. Shown again Friday through Thursday, April 12-18, Catamount Arts Center, St. Johnsbury. See calendar for times. Info, 748-2600.

all about eve The Old Testament leaves out a lot about Adam and Eve — it certainly doesn't delve into the dynamics of the first "relationship." So Lincoln-based actor Deborah Lubar set out to fill in the blanks with a one-woman show she describes as "Eve's take on what really went on in Eden." All her other character studies to date — on Bosnian refugees, German war resistors and ethnic New Yorkers — have been female-focused. Eve's Version avoids "Adam bashing" to analyze what it was like to be married to him. She also fleshes out the persona of the snake. Beget yourself a front-row seat.

'Eve's Version." Friday, April 12. Holley Hall, Bristol, 7:30 p.m. $8. Info, 453-5885.

'gold' diggers "Small potatoes can feed big dreams." That's the motto behind Fool's Gold — a funky fund that provides small grants to Burlington artists. Last year about 2000 bucks financed an emergency accordian repair, jazz camp tuition and several instrument purchases. The "fool" pool gets filled in one single evening, when three local bands — Black Sea Quartet, Gal Brzrk and The Billionaires — go all out for altruistic reasons. A troupe of belly dancers from Pittsburgh helps shake down the crowd. Fool's Paradise. Friday, April 12. Club Metronome, Burlington, 10 p.m. Donations. Info, 865-4563.

bach to the future Good Friday may be a misnomer, but at least one positive thing came out of it: The Passion According to St. Matthew. Bach's monumental piece tellss the story of the crucifixion in a challenging mix of narration, hymns, choruses and arias. The grand work was lost to listeners after its first performance in 1727 — until Felix Mendelssohn triumphantly revived it 100 years later. Even today its message sounds contemporary. You can't go wrong with music that speaks to conscience, courage, compassion, acceptance and hope. "The Passion According to St. Matthew." Sunday, April 14. Ira Allen Chapel, Burlington, 1:30 p.m. $13-25. Info, 862-7352.

Got an ax to grind? Consider a chainsaw instead — hundreds of Vermonters rely on them to see the forest for the trees. In the wrong hands, however, they can be extremely dangerous. It's best to learn how to wield one without whacking anything off. An intro course covers all the safety precautions as well as more advanced trouble-shooting strategies. You'll be "Stihling" in no time, whether you're a wannabe logger or just want to look the Carthartt part. . .

Saturday, April 20 at 8 pm

IAN ALEXY TRIO |

Known for his expressive melodies and sparkling, powerhouse improvisations, alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett has performed and recorded with such legends as Miles Davis, Art Blakey, and Freddie Hubbard. A perennial winner of the Downbeat and JazzTimes Readers' Polls, Garrett is "considered by many the best alto saxophonist in jazz today" (USA Today). An amazing guitarist who plays bass and guitar lines simultaneously on his custom-made eight-string instrument, Charlie Hunter turns heads with his unique techniques and improvised music that blends classic jazz with elements of pop, rock, hip-hop, R&B, and groove jazz. Hunter's "technical virtuosity borders on the indescribable" (Charleston City Paper). Sponsored by

page 25a

April 10-17 i ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): In my ongoing crusade to keep from boring myself, I did a survey to determine the words I use just way too much. The worst offenders are — surprise! — "just" and "way." Other terms I rely on with embarrassing frequency are the adjectives "gorgeous" and "rowdy," the verbs "rebel" and "explore," and the oxymorons "fiercely tender" and "wildly disciplined." No more! For the next 10 days, I pledge to refrain from invoking these worn-out substitutes for original thought. I will also throw down the gauntlet to you, Aries. Do you have the guts to follow my lead? It is, after all, an ideal time to leap out of your ruts and create something out of nothing. I dare you to forswear the five buzzwords and five shticks you have run into the ground.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20-May 20): Spanish poet Juan Ramon Jimenez won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1956. The award was not based on his first two books, Souls of Violet and Waterlilies, both published in 1900. By the time he'd matured as a writer, Jimenez was acutely embarrassed by the maudlin tone of those early works. He tried to hunt down and destroy every copy. I bring this up to inspire you, Taurus. From an astrological perspective, it's prime time to wipe out or make amends for anything from your past you don't want to let define you any more.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): If you're the kind of person who is delighted when the weather changes suddenly, you will love the coming days. If you are skilled at catching your balance in the midst of a stumble, you will thrive. If you know how to inject rich, mysterious truths into soulless dead ends, the whole world will rise up and celebrate you. And if you try to act like anyone other than your original self, you will misplace your TV remote and have to buy a new one.

page 26b ,

The Peak Experience Season has arrived for us Crabs. It's a time to grab for glory — with elegance and grace if possible, but with voracious glee if necessary. As you gear up your game plan to garner all the gusto you can handle, soak up these words of wisdom: "You've got to dare to suck in order to be great." — pop star Ricky Martin. "The harder you work, the luckier you get." — golfer Gary Player. "If at first you don't succeed, redefine success." — the T-shirt I found at Goodwill. (P.S. Please do not derive any inspiration from the following advice: "The important thing is: I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school." — Leela, "Futurama.") L E O (July 23-Aug. 22): ' Congratulations, Leo: You reached the outer limits of your world and then kept right on going. The guardian of the threshold glowered and demanded the password, and with a smile you said, "fierce integrity." Now you're out in the wilderness where the frontier overlaps the forbidden zone, breaking taboos left and right. If it were up to me, you'd keep exploring for a while, then wander back to more familiar territory around the end of April. Keep in mind that when you do choose to return, you'll have to go through a metaphorical version of customs.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you've read my column for even a few months, you know that I do not pay much homage to guilt and fear. They are almost always useless emotions that sap your will to do what's in the best interests of everyone involved. Now and then, however, guilt can motivate you to do the right thing

when nothing else will. Now and then, being afraid can remove you from a situation that your rational mind tells you is benign. The coming week is one of those now-and-then times.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I've witnessed some unusual weddings in my time. Having decided to give up relationships with human males, my friend Hillary once had a Universal Life Church minister preside over her marriage to a large Buddha statue. Another buddy, Fiona, tied the knot with her beloved teddy bear in a lovely beach ceremony. Then there was Argo, a musician I knew. He had a Wiccan priestess officiate his union with his Les Paul Flametop guitar. As you slip into the matrimonial season, Libra, I hope this inspires you. If there's no person you want to get hitched to, or if you're contentedly matched but would enjoy a fresh rush of wedded bliss, how about marrying your fortunes to a symbol of happiness?

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In my wanderings on the Web, I came across a document titled, "Tech Support for Etch-A-Sketch." Here's an excerpt. "Question: My Etch-ASketch has a distorted display. What should I do? Answer: Pick it up and shake it. Q: Help! My Etch-A-Sketch has funny little lines all over the screen. A: Pick it up and shake it. Q: How do I delete a document on my Etch-A-Sketch? A: Pick it up and shake it. Q: How do I turn my EtchA-Sketch off? A: Pick it up and shake it." I've quoted extensively from this manual, Scorpio, because it provides all the advice you'll need in dealing with your current dilemmas. The best answer to every question, starting with "How can you get your life

back on track?" is: Pick it up and shake it.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Judging from the current cosmic omens, I surmise that you need to have a nice, long communion with the waters of life. You're overdue to be influenced by the vast oceans that cover 71 percent of planet Earth; you need to have a visceral experience of the fact that life originally sprang from the sea and that your body is 60 percent water. If you don't live within easy traveling distance of a trillion-gallon baptismal font, I suggest you obtain a conch shell, put it to your ear and improvise a conversation. What should you talk about? Start by asking for help in feeling as deeply as you can about every aspect of your life.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In Denise Levertov's poem, "Zeroing In," a man says: "We had an old dog, when I was a boy, /a good dog, friendly. But there was an injured spot /on his head, if you happened /just to touch it he'd jump up yelping /and bite you." I'm sure that you, too, have a vulnerable place like that dog, Pisces, though it may not be from an actual physical wound. I'm guessing that you've built such an elaborate system of protection around it that no one ever gets close to brushing up against it. While this may have served you in the past — it has kept you from biting innocent bystanders, for one thing — it has now begun to shut you off from adventures you'd really benefit from. The time is ripe to let yourself be touched there by a smart healer. ®

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22Jan. 19): To diet or not to diet? To eat organic or not worry about pesticides? To avoid genetically modified foods or act as if they're as safe as the old-fashioned stuff? These are worthy meditations any time, but especially now; the cosmic omens say it's crucial to ponder more deeply what you take into the holy temple of your body. I challenge you, Capricorn, to come up with further questions to explore the mysteries of your relationship with food. For instance, do you know when you're really hungry and when, on the other hand, you are unconsciously craving love? Are you conscientious about making sure you're relaxed when you eat? Do you chew well enough? Would you consider playing with your mashed potatoes and peas more often?

Lola

the love counselor

Dear Lola, I recently met a guy I thought could be the one. We both agreed on cur mutual attraction. But before we could explore the possibilities, he learned that I had had an "indiscretion" — almost a year ago, before knowing him — with hit boa. To me this was an insignificant blip on the radar screen. To him it was more than he could handle. He abruptly ended the pursuit. He says it's just "too close to home." Or is he judging me immoral? Finding mutual attraction a rare thing, I hate to let it go. I know that I need to put it behind me, but 1 would like your assurance that he's being a butt. — Cxiled in Essex Dear Cxiled, By all means, throw the butt back. Cither he's using your blip with his boss as an excuse to back cut, or he's displaying a level of insecurity that doesn't bode well for your future. As rare as mutual attraction may seem, there are other fish in the sea, and this one is definitely not a keeper.
